Back Bass Trombone Stainless Thayer Valve

This is a Bach bass trombone equipped with double Thayer valves. The Thayer valves were retrofitted to this instrument. As a result, there are marks on the bell where they were removed (see photo 8).
The bell size is 9 1/2 inches.

The valves are made by Thayer and are made of stainless steel, which is no longer manufactured. These Thayer valves are arguably more valuable than the instrument itself.

The bell is a red brass bell and is 9.5 inches in size. There are no noticeable large dents, but the lacquer on the entire instrument shows signs of age and use.

The bell is detachable.
The handle of the slide shows the characteristic wear and tear of a Bach instrument due to age and use. There are no holes.

The valves, slide, and tuning slide have been adjusted by a musical instrument shop, so the valves and slide operate smoothly and without any issues.
It plays well with good resonance and excellent sound projection from the bottom to the top, with no resistance.

A mouthpiece is not included.
The instrument will be shipped in its original Bach hard case. The case is in very good condition.
Thank you for your consideration.
